How do you create a public profile on Snapchat? Everything you need to know and more can be found in the article below.

Snapchat has become a very popular social media platform over the years. The app allows its users to send each other photos and videos that disappear after they’ve viewed them. This feature makes it easier for friends to share their lives with each other.

However, it is now possible to make public profiles. These are similar to normal accounts but instead of being private, they’re viewable by anyone who knows how to find them.

This guide will show you how to make a public profile on Snapchat. We will also show you the different ways people use this feature to share their content.

What Is A Public Profile On Snapchat?

A public profile is a way to share your content with a wider audience. The profile allows you to share information with the public, such as photos, videos, and your personal bio.

You can also share stories and lenses in your public profile, which allows your followers to see your content. Users can even subscribe to your profile and receive updates.

With a public profile, you will also be able to keep track of your followers and interact with them personally. If you grow tired of your public profile, you can have it deleted.

Are There Rules?

At one point, only verified creators were allowed to make public profiles. However, this limitation has since been removed. This means that any user can make their own public profile, although there are some requirements that you will have to meet:

• The user must be 18 years old or older.
• Their Snapchat account must be older than 24 hours
• The user must have at least one friend (in most cases, the friend will need to be bi-directional, which means you are both friends with each other)
• The user must adhere to the platform’s community guidelines.

Now that the rules are out of the way, let’s take a look at how you can make your own public profile on Snapchat.
